Lightbulb Podcast presents Episode 9: “Is Andover Broken?” In this episode, we discuss the popular college confidential thread “Andover is Broken.” The author writes about Andover’s miscommunication to families on the issue of students returning to campus as well as their decisions not “being driven by science.” With fellow Andover students (Including Bobby Hickman ’22), we explore the truth of the “Andover is Broken” argument and also offer some of our own analysis.
